A visit to Fall River can be a visit to a living museum. There is the Marine Museum and the Historical Society with an exhibit about Lizzie Borden and the world famous ax murders in 1892. Ethnic restaurants and bakeries, as well as a factory outlet stores for bargain purchases, are all to be explored.

The most popular tourist attraction of all is Battleship Cove, located on the eastern shore of the Taunton River just above the Braga  fixed bridge. see the largest collection of U.S. Navy vessels open to the public in one location. Visit the 'Big Mamie' battleship Massachusetts; the destroyer Kennedy; the submarine Lionfish; a landing craft; and PT 765. Just south of the bridge is the Marine Museum containing a fascinating collection of ship models and memorabilia from the days of the old Fall River Day Line including a 12 foot model of the replica of the Mutiny on the Bounty.

Enter Mount hope Bay from the East Passage of Narragansett Bay. Work your way between Hog Island to the northwest and Arnold Point to the southeast. You pass FL G 4s Bell G '3' to either side. North of this buoy, Hog Island has notable shoaling on its south side, so keep south of Iso 6s 54ft 12 M Horn. Beyond Fl 'G' 4s BELL '3' and the shoal light, head northeast for Mount Hope Bay Bridge. Keep north of GONG R '6' and FL R 6s 6M "6A', then continue beneath the center span, which has a vertical clearance of 135 feet (mlw). Currents can be difficult here, but the channel is deep, wide, and well marked. About 1.5 nm northeast of the bridge, the channel branches at Fl(2+1) R 6s GONG RG "MH" south of Mount Hope Point. The main channel continues northeast to the Taunton River, while the other leads east, then south into Sakonnet river. Watch out for Spar Island, marked to its west by R N '2', around Mount Hope Bay. The island often isn't visible even at low tide.
